NEW PLAYGROUND!

A big THANK YOU to all of the Fallsmead Families that participated in last years successful Boosterthon fundraiser! Due to the incredible success of the event, the PTA was able to purchase additional playground equipment for the school with the funds raised! Our beautiful new equipment was installed this week and is ready for use!

LAST CALL FOR ROOM PARENTS!!

There are still a few classrooms in need of a room parent! This is a role that can be shared between several parents and it is a great way to get involved. If you are interested in volunteering as a room parent please sign-up here. If you would like further information, please contact Sandra Zinselmeier, Room Parent Coordinator.

SHOP AND EARN!

Fallsmead has launched an easy new fundraiser with AmazonSmile! AmazonSmile is the same Amazon you know, however 0.5% of the price of your eligible purchases will go back to Fallsmead Elementary School.

Fallsmead also has other grocery reward programs set up with Giant, Safeway, Target, and Harris Teeter. For more information, please visit the PTA website. Registration has to happen every year, so please register your rewards cards even if you've already done so in the past. Note that this will not interfere with any other loyalty benefits you may already receive through these stores. Thanks for your support!
